TL-S
Finally got to ride in a TL-S today. A guy here at work just bought a silver one last week. It's a very nice car.
I noticed that not only are the mirrors smaller (as discussed here), but they have a blueish tint to them as well. Also, he said the moonroof rattles a bit, but he just turns up the stereo to compensate for it. I had to teach him about the SS mode, he was a little nervous about using it.

The side mirrors are now photochromic like the rearview in the CL-S, thus the blueish tint.

Yes it does, probably cuz Acura lowered it somehow. You look at it in person and the wheel gap is not huge compared to the pics in the brochure.</font>
